Kunal Kohli Celebrates Daughter Radha’s Sweet 16th With A Heartwarming Birthday Video

Bollywood filmmaker Kunal Kohli turned the spotlight away from movies and onto his favourite role — being a dad. The Hum Tum and Fanaa director took to X to celebrate his daughter Radha Kohli’s 16th birthday with a sweet 23-second video montage. Sharing the adorable glimpse of their journey together, Kunal simply captioned the post, “Happy 16th my love #Radhakohli,” and the message said everything about the special bond they share.

The video is packed with precious father-daughter memories, taking fans back to Radha’s childhood. From cute photographs of the two spending time together in bed to playful moments that capture their easy chemistry, the montage feels less like a celebrity post and more like a personal family album. The video eventually moves to the present day, ending with a lovely shot of Radha celebrating her birthday at a party surrounded by balloons.

Kunal and his wife Ravina Kohli adopted Radha in 2012, after being married for 12 years. Over the years, the filmmaker has never shied away from sharing proud dad moments on social media. Whether it is posting something Radha has said, giving fans a peek at their Diwali celebrations or sharing snippets from family holidays, Kunal’s posts often reveal a softer side of the filmmaker away from the cameras and movie sets.

For a director who has given Bollywood some of its most memorable romantic entertainers, including Hum Tum and Fanaa, Kunal’s latest post is a reminder that his biggest story is perhaps the one unfolding at home. His equation with Radha comes across as warm, playful and wonderfully uncomplicated. The birthday montage, in particular, captures that journey from tiny childhood moments to watching his daughter step confidently into her teenage years.

Family connections run deep in Kunal’s Bollywood world too. He is married to Ravina Kohli, who has worked as the director of Koffee with Karan and has headed Yash Raj TV. Kunal is also the maternal nephew of filmmaker David Dhawan, making actors Varun Dhawan and director Rohit Dhawan his cousins. But on Radha’s 16th birthday, none of those industry connections mattered quite as much as one simple identity — proud father.

As Radha begins a new chapter at 16, Kunal’s birthday tribute is a charming reminder that even Bollywood’s busiest filmmakers have moments when the scripts, cameras and Friday releases take a back seat. For him, this one was all about his daughter. And judging by the adorable montage, the #Radhakohli celebration was every bit as special, personal and full of love as a dad could hope for.
